At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

front.

Xiao Han and Pan Yuanshao were also chatting.

“This year is another bumper year.”

Xiao Han looked around and said, "I heard from the chief clerk of the Animal Husbandry and Agriculture Department that we may need to build a few more large warehouses this year, otherwise the warehouses in the prefectures and counties will be full."

“Three years of bumper harvests in a row.”

Pan Yuanshao smiled and said, "This is enough to show that the general has great luck."

“Bullshit luck.”

He shook his head: "Xiliang can be what it is today because of the wisdom and bravery of this general, the hard work of officials at all levels, the sword power of Xiliang's elite cavalry, and the hard work of Xiliang's people."

"How can we simply attribute the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiliang to luck?"

"The general is right."

Pan Yuanshao nodded.

"Next month, the Black Armor Army, Huben Army, and Xianzhen Camp will be transferred back one by one and assigned to various counties to join the autumn harvest."

Xiao Han said: "If there are any who violate military discipline, catch them and punish them severely."

“If the law is not right, then there is no way to right people’s hearts.”

"I'll make arrangements after I get back."

Pan Yuanshao said: "But the general must give me an official document, otherwise I can't transfer them."

A few riders started from Xiliang City and headed westward, first inspecting several counties under the Qilian Mountains, and then inspecting the counties and towns on both sides of the Yellow River.

The people of Xiliang were no strangers to Xiao Han, the governor of the state, and General Pingxi. Wherever Xiao Han went, the people would follow his lead.

Xiao Han was not just pretending to inspect the area, but he actually walked through every field and visited every village.

It took more than ten days to travel all over Xiliang County, and then went to Xia Pi and Shangdang counties for inspection, and visited both Xue Yanwei and Shatuowei.

It took one month.

Whether it was the refugees from Xiliang, Xia Pi, and Shangdang, as well as the people from various Hu tribes who were resettled.

When they saw Xiao Han, the great general of Pingxi, their eyes were filled with tears and they were filled with gratitude.

August,

On the way back to Xiliang City.

Qingyao said nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking. She just looked at the man from time to time with a thoughtful expression.

Every year during the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, no matter how busy Xiao Han was, he would always take time out to patrol the territory of Xiliang.

This has become a routine.

After more than a month of sleeping in the open air, everyone was a little tired. After returning to the general's mansion, he dismissed everyone.

He returned to the courtyard, asked the servants to prepare hot water, and took a comfortable hot bath.

"Sir, how was the inspection?"

Miaoyu untied her outer skirt and wiped his shoulders and arms carefully.

“Mostly.”

He nodded slightly.

"In Shangdang County, Gu Yun and Shi Qing's capital city exceeded my expectations a little bit."

"Before Shangdang City was even built, they had already won over more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes, destroyed two large tribes, and expanded their territory by 800 miles."

"But this year we may need to transport more food to appease these barbarian tribes."

"This young master's food is not eaten for free."

"It just so happens that the people of those tribes have nothing to do in winter, so we arranged for them all to build Shangdang City."

Shangdang is located at the westernmost part of Xiliang Prefecture. Now it has to face those grassland tribes directly, and in the future Shangdang will have to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, the scale of Shangdang City was built exactly according to that of Xiliang City, and it was even more majestic and solid.

In the future, relying on Shangdang City as the center, we will continue to build fortresses around it and station soldiers to deal with the Northern Wei. "Sir, isn't it time to put the site selection and construction of Xinzhou City on the agenda?"

Miaoyu spoke.

"Wait a minute."

He said: "Xiliang City is sufficient for now, there is no need for us to be too prominent."

Building a city requires an enormous amount of manpower and material resources, and it also requires the mobilization of a large number of young and strong laborers.

There are still so many wastelands in Shangdang and Xia Pi waiting to be reclaimed, and Xiao Han really can't bear to build a city at this time.

Instead of supporting more than 100,000 young and strong laborers in vain, it is better to let them cultivate the fields.

After bathing, I changed into a new robe. The weather was still a little hot in August, but after September, it would slowly turn cooler.

Miaoyu took the clothes and went out to wash them, closing the door. The sky was getting dark, and the night was like a curtain, covering the earth.

The courtyard was quiet and brightly lit, but from the distant street there could be faint noisy sounds of hawking.

Not far from the General's Mansion is the night market. It is now very busy, and many wine shops and inns are doing extremely hot business. Lantern festivals are held every now and then.

After drinking hot tea, I sat cross-legged on the bed. In the past six months, I have accumulated several lottery opportunities.

He was going to use it all up at once to see if he could get something good.

He pinched the magic gate with his hands, looked up to the sky without any intention, and at the same time circulated the Three-Part Return to Origin Qi and the Nine Yang Divine Art. The surging blood and internal force flowed through the eight extraordinary meridians and the limbs and bones.

The mind enters the system space.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have four random draw opportunities, do you want to draw now? ]

System sounds appear.

"Extract."

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have used up one chance to draw a lottery and obtained a low-level magic weapon, a tetanus blue and white long sword.

Introduction: Also known as a rusty iron sword, there is a chance that someone will suddenly die after being stabbed by this sword. 】

Immediately afterwards, a long sword covered with rust appeared in his system space.

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched, and a few black lines appeared between his eyebrows. He was speechless. What the hell was this?

You have the nerve to call it a divine weapon.

"Extract."

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have used up one chance to draw a lottery and obtained the low-level martial arts, the Wind-Breaking Sword Technique. Introduction: When using it, the sword is like a gust of wind, and when used with the tetanus sword, there is a chance that the opponent will be killed suddenly. ]

"Is it that bad?"

Xiao Han complained inwardly.

Seeing that there were only two chances left to draw, he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue the drawing."

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have used up one chance to draw a lottery and won the top magic weapon, Jingzhe Knife. Introduction: The magic weapon Jingzhe, the knife is four feet long and three feet wide, named after Jingzhe, one of the twenty-four solar terms, it can cut hair with a blow and cut gold and jade.]

An idea.

The magic weapon Jingzhe appeared in his hand. The blade was long and narrow, the edge was straight, and the handle could be held in both hands.

Under the candlelight, an extremely strong chill was emanating.

The true energy was injected into it, the long sword vibrated, and suddenly a low sword sound was emitted.

"laugh."

An invisible sword energy was emitted, splitting the tea table a few feet away in half. The remaining force of the sword energy left a crack on the wall before dissipating.

"Good knife."

Xiao Han's eyes lit up. As a warrior, he also liked magical weapons, and there were many famous swords and knives collected in his treasury.

Although there are very few people in the world who can defeat him in terms of martial arts, but if he encounters strong men like Helian Bobo, Xue Changqing, and the one-armed old sword god.

If you don't have a good weapon, you will fall into inferiority. Any flying flowers and picked leaves can kill people, and grass, bamboo and stone can all be used as swords.

These are all sayings used by masters to crush ants.
